There are a number of traits that Jim Beerends wants to instill into his students this year, but none perhaps more important than family.

Beerends is the band director for Newton Senior High School, and this year’s band will feature 115 to 120 kids — including more than 50 freshman.

“It’s a great problem to have.

In fact, I wouldn’t even classify it as a problem — that’s the future of the program and we are looking forward to having them for four years,” Beerends said.

The influx of new faces is the reason that Beerends is really making a push for his students to think of each other as family. He said its been something he and his staff have talked about doing in the past, however, this year was the perfect time to put that plan into action.

Beerends believes they can

Ty Rushing/Daily News This summer’s band camp is helping Newton Senior High School Marching Band members develop more of a family atmosphere, which is what director Jim Beerends wants. The band will perform at six major competitions in the fall.

accomplish this by implementing a shared leadership model for the band students.

“Giving kids more responsibility, giving kids more ownership in the program so that they make it more of their own,” Beerends said. “We want them to feel like they are

empowered, (like) they directly effect what happens here … where everyone feels they are a part of what is going on — more of a family atmosphere.”

Beerends feels that his plan is working. Members of the same section are starting to color coordinate their clothing

during camp, the new leaders are being more vocal during drills and even at lunch, a group of students from various grade levels were enjoying each other’s company.

Work Daze

Guess who’s being fired?

Is everything copasetic at your job? Are you feeling happy, content and secure? If so, I have some advice for you — DON’T! Know it or not, like it or not, you could be whisking down the road to termination. In the slightly altered words of “The Music Man,” that’s Termination with a capital “T,” and that rhymes with “Thee,” and that stands for “Canned.”

If you’re not worried now, take a quick peek at a recent column by Joann S. Lublin in The Wall Street Journal. Titled “Six Subtle Signs You’re About to Lose Your Job,” Lublin lays out the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny signs and signals that mean your

By Bob Goldman next assignments could be Creators Syndicate packing your boxes, turning in your card key, and removing your presence from the office forever.

Now, you may think that you would never miss such a clue. After all, you’ve been fired so often, you could find your way to the unemployment office blindfolded. But remember, management is always thinking up new ways to torture the staff, and in the brief interval between your last firing and your next firing, there may be a whole set of excruciatingly painful humiliations you’ve never experienced. Yet. Consider the case of Jill Abramson. Ms. Abramson says that she was totally surprised when she was fired as the executive editor of The New York Times. If an experienced reporter is blindsided by a pink slip, what chance does a doofus like you have?

OK, then, are you sufficiently scared? That’s a good sign you are ready to learn about the really bad signs.

For example, “your boss refuses to discuss your long-term projects.” This happened to one vice president sited by Lawrence J. Stybel, a leadership consultant. The VP’s manager dragged his feet in approving a budget. This should have set off warning signs, but the VP “didn’t connect the dots.”

Unfortunately, the snail’s pace at which you work makes every assignment a long-term project, so you may have to do a little probing and poking on your own.

“Can we talk about what I’m doing?” you might ask your supervisor. “I’m making so little progress, it would be motivating if I thought you cared.”

If your manager turns and walks briskly away, it’s time to start packing those boxes.

“Rumors fly about a hunt for your successor” is a fairly unsubtle clue, though you want to be cautious here since employers have been known to start fake searches simply to scare “underperforming” employees. To get confirmation, ask your manager if the company would like you to interview the candidates for your job.

“I have plenty of time since the work on my wrongful termination discrimination suit is going so well,” you could add, helpfully. “My lawyers were really surprised you would even consider firing a full-blooded Kiowa and an orthodox Druid.”

Subtle Clue No. 3, “Colleagues shun you,” will not be of much use to you. You’ve been shunned since your first day. “You’re assigned an executive coach to fix your flaws” is also a non-starter.

Everyone knows you have no flaws. “You must justify your job” is another clue, and, frankly, if this comes up in your work life, you can be pretty darn sure that you’re toast.

Given your sluggish performance, your toxic personality and your hardly hidden contempt for your company, it will be impossible to justify what you do, which isn’t much. On the other hand, they have kept you around for quite a while, so there must be something you are doing right. (Maybe it’s the fact that when it comes to making sure there are no donuts left over after staff meetings, you’re a peak performer. That should be worth a couple of extra months before they give you the boot.)

The final subtle clue is definitely not so subtle: “Your supervisor suddenly interferes with your employees.” Reporter Lublin tells the sad tale of a bank executive who was surprised by his outof-town boss suddenly showing up to run his staff meetings. “’She asked everyone’s opinion but mine,’ during these meetings, he observed.”

After the third visit, “she eliminated his job.”

Tragic, but the exec should have been proactive. When his boss showed up at his office, he should have rushed over to her office. He could have spread a little dirt, dropped a few not-sosubtle hints about why she was never at her desk, and nabbed her job, no problem.

It may not be subtle, but it is satisfying.

The Scoop

Hiroshima — 69 years later

By Robert F. Dodge, MD Sixty-nine years ago this Tuesday, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing 80,000 to 140,000 people immediately. Three days later on Aug. 9, a second U.S. nuclear bomb was dropped over Nagasaki, killing an additional 74,000 people.

From that week to the present moment the world has been held hostage to the insane threat and potential annihilation by these weapons that now number in excess of 17,000 worldwide.

However daunting, we have witnessed this past year some of the most significant progress and awareness of this threat and work to eliminate nuclear weapons, thus realizing the long standing desires of people everywhere, to live in a world free of nuclear weapons. It is time for our elected officials to support the international efforts toward this end.

There have been four significant events over the past year.

First, in December 2013, the Physicians for Social Responsibility and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (www.ippnw.org) released a monumental report identifying the horrific potential devastation and death toll of up to two billion from a small limited nuclear war between Pakistan and India using approximately 100 Hiroshima sized weapons — less than 0.5 percent of the world’s nuclear arsenals. The resulting climatic changes affecting growing seasons and inducing global famine could last more than 20 years.

Then on April 24 this year the tiny heroic nation of Marshall Islands brought suit against the nine nuclear nations of the world in the International Court of Justice and the U.S. Federal District Court in San Francisco for breech of Article VI of the 1970 Non Proliferation Treaty which

states that the nuclear nations of the world will work in good faith to eliminate all nuclear weapons.

The islands were victim from 1946 to 1958 of 67 U.S. nuclear bomb tests, equivalent to 1.7 Hiroshima size bombs daily for 12 years. They are seeking no monies or compensation but rather the guarantee that no nation or peoples of the world would ever be subject to these atrocities again. Anyone interested in supporting this effort is urged to sign the petition at www.nuclearzero. org.

In March of this year the Rotarian Action Group for Peace (www.rotarianactiongroupforpeace.org) along with Physicians for Social Responsibility and the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War launched an international speakers bureau and campaign to educate about the “Humanitarian Effects of Limited Nuclear War.” Rotary, with its longstanding mission of “peace through service,” well established Peace Fellows Program and its 1.2 million members in 220 countries may be the perfect apolitical international organization capable of taking on this task of eliminating nuclear weapons.

The international movement to abolish nuclear weapons is building unprecedented momentum behind the Humanitarian Impact Initiative. Last October in Oslo, 124 nations signed onto a statement to the UN calling for complete global nuclear disarmament, based on the intolerable human costs of these weapons.

In February 2014, 146 nations — three-quarters of the nations of the world — including major U.S. allies such as Germany and Japan, attended the second Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons Conference in Nayarit, Mexico.

Remarkably absent and boycotting the conferences for double-

speak reasons were the U.S. and the other P5 nuclear signatory members to the NPT — China, Russia, France and U.K. The U.S. claimed that “while we recognize the seriousness of this subject and attach the utmost importance to it, we are concerned that the conference in Oslo will divert discussion and focus away from the practical steps required to create the conditions for further nuclear weapons reductions.”

A similar conference is scheduled for Vienna in December, and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) itself is up for review in May 2015.

Nuclear abolition is not a partisan issue. It is a survival issue and has now become mainstream. From military leaders to architects of the cold war including Sam Nunn, Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, William Perry and Colin Powell to the International Red Cross, U.S. Conference of Mayors, the call to eliminate nuclear weapons is being heard. Add your voice to the growing chorus.

If the U.S. and other nuclear weapons states are truly interested in eliminating nuclear weapons, then the U.S. has an opportunity and obligation to lead by example and attend and challenge the other nuclear nations to do likewise. We the people must demand that our elected officials push for this participation and that they represent us.

Action speaks much more than words alone. Contact the president and your representatives today at www.usa.gov/Contact/ US-Congress.shtml.

Robert F. Dodge, M.D., serves on the boards of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Beyond War, Physicians for Social Responsibility Los Angeles and Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions, and writes for PeaceVoice.

The heat, repetition and long days at band camp make for the perfect bonding tool for the students. Freshman Zach Clouse, a first year band member, sat next to junior Samantha Henning, a third year member of the color guard, during lunch on Thursday.

Henning talked about how challenging camp is and Clouse talked about how excited he is get to travel with the band. Another freshman, Helen Chandler, who wasn’t sitting too far from the other two, said she enjoys spending time with

her band friends and traveling as well.

Although they are sweating it out under the July sun now, this camp will ensure the band is ready for its six competitions this fall.

Clouse certainly seems to buying into some of the other traits Beerends wants his students to implement: competitiveness, success and pride.

This year, the band will be performing songs from “Mask of Zorro,” which Beerneds said was easier for his younger students to learn, but still contained great pieces of music.

Traffic Continued from Page 1A The Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Department of Transportation, Newton Police Department, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Iowa Speedway officials are working in conjunction with a private traffic control company to erect signs and cones that will mark travel routes for fans attending the race. Officers will be working intersections along the route to ensure traffic moves in a safe and efficient manner.

Motorists traveling to and from the speedway are reminded to expect slow traffic and possible delays, obey all traffic laws, pay attention to flashing lights and signs and always follow officers’ directions. Motorists should avoid stopping on the traveled portion to ask questions unless it is an emergency. The key to safe and efficient traffic flow, with minimal delays, will be a cooperative effort between the motoring public, law enforcement and speedway staff.

$245,000 wastewater project meets city and school approval Matthew Nosco News Editor

A 28E agreement between the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the design process will move forward on a joint wastewater management project between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system being put in alongside the athletic complex in Prairie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also filtering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is estimated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treatment plant.

Beerends admits he’s hoping the trend of large amounts of incoming students joining the band continues. He believes the band could get to 150 to 160 members someday, and the family vibe he is creating with this class could contribute to that.

“It’s an exciting time to be part of the Newton band program,” Beerends said.

Diabetic friend suffers close call miles away from hospital DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a lake house and invited a couple (close friends) to join us for a few days. The husband has cancer and has been taking chemo. We wanted them both to rest, as the wife is his only caregiver. We all thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy nature.

The second night they were there, the husband went to bed very early and the three of us were visiting. At one point, my friend went into the kitchen. When she didn’t come out, I went to check on her and found her close to a diabetic coma.

It was very frightening. She hadn’t eaten much dinner and her blood sugar had crashed to a dangerous level. Fortunately, we knew what to do because my dad was diabetic.

We were an hour from the nearest hospital and had no cell reception.

We did not know where her medication was. My friend was making no sense and couldn’t remember.

I want to respect my friends’ privacy, but if you travel with someone you know has a medical condition, is it OK to ask where they keep their meds in case of an emergency? How do you approach the subject? -- CARING FRIEND IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CARING FRIEND: Of course it’s OK. And a perfect way to lead up to that question would be to relate the story you have written to me.

DEAR ABBY: My husband, for the most part, is a happy-go-lucky, funny person during the day. But once we sit down to dinner, he starts criticizing and making mean comments about me. Once dinner is over, he’s back to being pleasant.

I have addressed this with him to no avail. I have tried ignoring his comments, changing the sub-

ject, asking calmly for him to make his concerns known before or after rather than during the meal. I have suggested we eat dinner away from the table or separately. I have sought the counsel of a therapist and tried implementing her suggestions.

I am at my wits’ end. I’m a welleducated, good person, a good wife and co-provider. I do not understand why he acts this way at the dinner table. Your thoughts, Abby? -- IT’S ALL GOOD, UNTIL ...

DEAR IT’S ALL GOOD: When someone tells me, “It’s all good” and then describes a marriage in which her husband beats her down emotionally once a day, I have to wonder what her definition of “good” is. For whatever reason, your husband appears to be trying to punish you for something by deliberately upsetting you every evening.

Was it his behavior that caused you to seek counseling or something else? I ask because I think the wrong spouse may have seen the therapist.

Unless HE decides to get help and find a healthier way of channeling his anger/frustration, nothing will change, because as it stands, there have been no “consequences” for his actions.

Synopsis: Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, the film is an action drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything

as the Reich fell, how could these guys — seven museum directors, curators and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 — possibly hope to succeed? (Excerpt taken from IMDB.com).

Iowa parents speak out against school changes DES MOINES (AP) — Students at Des Moines middle schools no longer have the option to take advanced English and science classes.

The Des Moines Register reports Tuesday that some parents are concerned that top performers won’t be challenged.

Students instead will have the option to complete honors-level assignments in all subjects within general education classrooms. Accelerated math classes will remain and some students will have access to advanced courses at a magnet school. The change coincides with the implementation of a new grading system.

Parent Natasha Newcomb tells the paper that people are concerned teachers will focus more on struggling students than those who are ahead. She started an online petition urging the district to return advanced classes to the middle schools.

Iowa college attracting international students CEDAR FALLS (AP) — While some Iowa universities clamor to attract resident students, the University of Northern Iowa has its eyes fixed abroad.

The University of Iowa recently launched a marketing blitz to attract Iowans, a reaction to a major policy change by the Iowa Board of Regents which links nearly $500 million in state funds to enrolling in-state students, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported .

While UNI is also marketing in Iowa and the Midwest, it also is gradually stepping up its recruitment of international students, an effort which officials say will bring valuable diversity to campus and generate tuition revenue.

“This is a big change, but we’re not worried about it,” Scott Ketelsen, director of UNI relations, said of the new funding model.

Roughly 90 percent of UNI’s student population is made up of Iowans who pay lower tuition, which had been the source of its budget woes. But over the next two years, the overall number of direct-from-high-school students in Iowa will drop, said Ketelsen.

“For us it’s never been ‘We want to have every single Iowa student come to UNI, it’s been about raising awareness of the positives of UNI so we get a larger market share,” Ketelsen said.

UNI’s recruitment of Iowa and out-of-state students started a year ago with six new television ads, online

ads and billboards in the Twin Cities.

The university is seeking to expand its reach, possibly to India and Brazil, and to strengthen existing links with China.

This summer, university administration traveled to Asia hoping to form partnerships that get more international students on campus.

Terry Hogan, vice president for student affairs, met with representatives from Chinese institutions in Inner Mongolia this month.

President Bill Ruud and the Farzad Moussavi, dean of the UNI College of Business, will also travel to China to explore new and expand current programs at four Asian universities.

Their objectives are to diversify the Cedar Falls campus, generate tuition revenue and provide international experiences for faculty.

Chinese students “like to study in the U.S. because an American education is highly valued. And it’s a large market and it’s a growing economic power, so for the business school it makes perfect sense to work with China,” Moussavi said.

Students enrolled in UNI’s 2+2 program at Shanghai Dianji University spend two years at their home university and two at UNI, earning a degree from both.

Jingyi “Jenny” Wang, 21, will graduate from that program in May with a degree in financial investment.

Wang is paying two tuitions. UNI charges about $16,000 per year, six

times more than Chinese tuition. But having an American degree should make Wang stand out among other job applications in China.

“When we meet leaders from America, we won’t have those cultural differences because of the things we studied in America. That’s good for business,” Wang said.

Students must have a qualifying GPA and pass a Cambridge or TOEFL English qualification exam to be accepted.

“For the first semester it’s really hard.

You need to use English every day. All your courses are in English, and your professors speak English,” Wang said.

“But we still get a lot of help. The professors here are really nice.”

In Dianji, a professor may have 80 students per class and doesn’t have time to meet one on one. Each class has a student leader who acts as a liaison between other students and the professor.

Wang said she likes UNI’s intimate interaction with instructors.

Wang is one of two Chinese students from her program who decided to stay in Iowa this summer. Coming from one of the largest cities in the world, Wang said it’s hard to find things to do in Cedar Falls, especially without a car or fast public transportation. But she’s adjusting.

Chinese nationals counted for only a quarter of UNI’s 520 international students in fall 2013, thousands less than the University of Iowa hosts every year.

We all know the phrase, “There’s no place like home.” Yet we sometimes take home for granted. Get to know Newton this summer.

Homegrown talent competing in Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250

Two Iowa natives having solid seasons in Nationwide Series

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Landon Cassill and Joey Gase will have large contingents of family and friends at the Iowa Speedway Saturday.

The two Cedar Rapids area natives are among the NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers competing in Iowa Speedway’s final race of the 2014 season.

Cassill and Gase climb into their cars Friday for practice sessions on the 7/8-mile track.

They will be back on the Speedway track Saturday for the qualifying round to set the field for the 2014 U.S. Cellular 250 presented by New Holland.

The Nationwide Series race is at 7 p.m. Saturday. It will be televised on ESPN. “It means a lot racing here at Iowa Speedway. I always have a lot of family and friends come to see us run here,” Gase said.

“When Newton was building the track, I was young, but excited that NASCAR was coming to Iowa. Rusty Wallace, who is one of my favorite race car drivers, was helping build it. Now, to race here is quite amazing.”

Cassill has the same type of sentiment for his “home track.”

“I love this track. It’s close to home so my family and friends can come watch the race. This is just a great race track,” Cassill said. “I think it provides some really good racing. It makes me proud to see the crowds this track draws, which really shows people not from the Midwest what kind of race fans we have here.”

Both Gase and Cassill are pulling double racing duty this week. Gase is racing his late model stock car tonight at Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids. Cassill is flying back and forth from Iowa to Pennsylvania this weekend

Cassill finished 10th in the Nationwide race at Iowa in May and comes into Saturday’s race in 11th place in the series points standings. Cassill drives the No. 01 Chevrolet for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller.

Gase ended up 27th in May’s Get To Know Newton 250. He is 20th in the Nationwide Series points standings. Gase drives the No. 52 Chevrolet for Jimmy Means Racing Team. Iowa Donor Network is a sponsor honoring his mother, Mary, who died

suddenly of a brain aneurysm in April 2011, and Gase made the decision to donate her organs helping to save 56 people’s lives.

“Mom was a great supporter of mine and she was an amazing person. She’s always on my mind for a race. We will have her image on the hood along with another Iowa organ donor, Jeff Bailey, for this race,” Gase said. “We do what we can to promote organ donation through our racing.”

Gase threw out the first pitch at Thursday night’s Cedar Rapids Kernels baseball game. He said they had the Iowa Donor

Returning K&N winner Rhodes keeps on winning

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer Ben Rhodes has turned his Alpha Energy Solutions sponsored Chevrolet into the alpha car on the race track.

The 17-year-old driver has been dominant in his first full year in the K&N Pro Series, compiling five wins in the first 11 races.

“I don’t know if the year could be going a whole lot better,” he said. “I’m kind of shocked myself.”

Rhodes and the rest of the K&N Pro Series East and West drivers return to Iowa Speedway tonight for the second of two combined races this season. The Autolite Iridium XP 150 starts at 8 p.m. Rhodes cruised to victory lane in the first race in Newton in May, which started a streak of four straight wins for the rookie.

That remarkable stretch, which ended one win shy of ty-

ing Ricky Craven’s 1991 record for most consecutive victories in one year, significantly increased Rhodes’ expectations for the season. He said he began the year hoping for four wins and has since increased that goal to eight.

For perspective, there are 16 races on the K&N Pro Series schedule.

“We won five out of 10 races earlier this season, so I feel like if we can get eight, win half of the races in the season, that would just be awesome,” Rhodes said.

“With five wins right now, and five more races left, it’s not too unrealistic. It’d be one heck of a feat. We had four wins in a row, so I’m thinking it’s possible.”

Winning has been somewhat of a habit for Rhodes. In 2011, he won 43 Legends car races, more than any driver internationally.

As he advanced through his first few seasons in stock cars, his appearances in victory lane grew less frequent. He won six Late

Model races in 2013, the same year he began his K&N Pro Series career. Rhodes ran seven K&N races last season without a victory, and he said that’s been a motivating force for him this season.

“Everything feeds from what happened in the past, for me at least,” he said. “That’s a step up (the K&N Pro Series), that’s when you really want to win.

Now to finally get that this year, and to keep winning, that’s a really good feeling.”

Rhodes first experienced that feeling at Greenville on March 22. His first K&N Pro Series win was his first of five victories in a six-race period — he finished second at Richmond on April 26 — as well as the beginning of a balancing act juggling success and improvement. “ I’ve talked to a lot of experienced guys who’ve raced a long time ago and are very involved in the sport today, and we all say the

same thing: We wish we’d slow down and enjoy it more,” Rhodes said. “You’re always focused on the next race, the next win, when you’re going to be in victory lane again and how the car is right now. That makes it hard to slow down and appreciate what’s happening and to enjoy what’s happening. I try to focus on that aspect, but it’s hard when you’re winning these races.”

Another win tonight would make Rhodes the first driver to win back-to-back K&N Pro Series combination races at Iowa Speedway.

While it remains to be seen whether or not the Louisville, Ky., native can pick up his sixth, one thing is certain: the potential victory celebration will be limited.

His crew chief, Mark McFarland, told Rhodes over the radio not to do a burnout following his first win at Iowa in May. Three wins later, and the driver of the No. 41 car is still waiting for that signature celebration.

“That is something I’m still waiting to do,” he said. “I’ve never done a burnout before, just because it’s hard on equipment. So they made me a deal: I can do a burnout if I win the championship at Dover. So if I win the championship, I can do a burnout at Dover, and I guess I will have earned it by that point, but five wins has not earned me a doughnut yet.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Iowa natives Joey Gase and Landon Cassill are making solid runs on the NASCAR Nationwide Series circuit this season.

Gase drives the No. 52 Iowa Donor Network Chevrolet (above) and Cassill handles the No. 01 G&K Serives Chevrolet (right).

The two drivers grew up in the Cedar Rapids area.

They raced at Iowa Speedway in the Nationwide Series race in May and are back for Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250.

Nationwide: Cassill and Gase have racing roots in home state of Iowa Continued from Page 1B said. “I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work for Hendrick Motorsports and be Jimmy Johnson’s test driver.

Working for that organization helped mold me into who I am as a driver and build the foundation I have now.”

Cassill was the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series rookie of the year.

The 21-year-old Gase said he had been racing at Iowa Speedway since he was 15, when he began racing late models.

Gase and Cassill are coming off runs at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Nationwide Series. Cassill finished 16th and Case was 31st.

“Indianapolis is a massive place with a ton of history. It’s another track I used to go to when I was younger.

My grandparents would take me there every year,” Gase said. “It was cool to be able race there with the grandstands on both sides of the car when you came down the frontstretch.

“You come from that environment to Iowa Speedway, which is small. I

believe I am one of the few drivers in the Nationwide Series with the most experience driving at the Iowa track.

It’s great to race at home,” Gase said.

“Racing is something I knew I wanted to do and I love everything about racing. It is something I’m good at and I know it is what I’m suppose to be doing.”

Cassill is also relying on experience coming into Saturday’s race.

“We had a good run at Iowa in May. We’re bringing the same car we had in May to drive this weekend. Go-

ing from one track to another, I know the experience I have I know what to expect,” Cassill said. “It doesn’t take that long for me to transition and I get pretty comfortable in the car on a track quickly. The big drawback this weekend is practice is limited for me because of running back and forth to Pocono for the Sprint Cup race qualifying. I just have to make every practice lap count here in Iowa.”

MLB Roundup Tigers 7, White Sox 4 DETROIT (AP) — Moises Sierra had four hits, and Jose Abreu and Adam Eaton added three apiece to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

The game quickly became a secondary concern in the Motor City when the Tigers acquired star lefthander David Price from Tampa Bay in a three-team deal.

Joakim Soria (1-4) — another pitcher recently acquired by Detroit — hit Paul Konerko with the bases loaded in the seventh to give the White Sox a 5-4 lead.

Abreu extended his hitting streak to 20 games.

Ronald Belisario (4-7) got the win in relief, and Jake Petricka pitched the ninth for his sixth save.

Detroit’s Torii Hunter and J.D. Martinez hit back-to-back homers in the third.

Reds 3, Marlins 1 MIAMI (AP) — Cincinnati benefited from Major League Baseball’s new instant replay system and the rule preventing catchers from blocking to beat Miami.

Reds starter Johnny Cueto (12-6) struck out nine and allowed one run in seven innings and Ryan Ludwick drove in two runs. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 24th save.

Giancarlo Stanton hit his 25th home run for Miami and Tom Koehler (7-8) took the loss allowing two unearned runs in seven innings.

With the Marlins leading 1-0 in the top of the eighth, the Reds loaded the bases with one out. Bryan Morris got Todd Frazier to fly out to right fielder Stanton whose throw to the plate easily beat Zack Cozart for what appeared to be the final out of the inning when catcher Jeff Mathis tagged out Cozart, who trotted in without a slide.

However, after a 6-minute, 10-second instant replay review, the call was overturned because Mathis was ruled to be blocking the plate and Cozart was called safe tying the game 1-1.

Ludwick took advantage and followed with a two-run single to give the Reds a 3-1 lead.

Cardinals 6, Padres 2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Shelby Miller and three relievers combined on a three-hitter, and Oscar Taveras

hit a two-run homer for St. Louis, which avoided a three-game series sweep.

The Cardinals acquired righthander John Lackey from Boston just before the trade deadline to bolster their rotation. They begin a big series against NL Central-leading Milwaukee on Friday in St. Louis.

Miller (8-8) allowed two runs and three hits in six innings in his first win since June 7.

St. Louis roughed up rookie Odrisamer Despaigne (2-3) a day after playing what manager Mike Matheny called the team’s ugliest loss of the season, a 12-1 defeat Wednesday night.

Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable homered for San Diego. Despaigne allowed six runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings.

Cubs 3, Rockies 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Jake Arrieta struck out seven in seven innings, leading the Cubs to the win.

Arrieta (6-2) allowed one run and three hits in his first victory since June 30 at Boston. The right-hander has a 1.73 ERA in his last 11 starts, holding opponents to a .162 batting average.

The Cubs won three of four in a matchup of last-place teams. The Rockies have lost four of five and 11 of 15 overall.

Pedro Hernandez (0-1) allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings in his first start for Colorado.

Hector Rondon got three outs for his 14th save in 17 opportunities. He retired three straight after Nolan Arenado and Justin Morneau singled to start the ninth.

The Cubs made one trade on the non-waiver deadline day, sending utilityman Emilio Bonifacio, reliever James Russell and cash to Atlanta for catching prospect Victor Caratini.

Blue Jays 6, Astros 5 HOUSTON (AP) — Nolan Reimold hit two home runs, including a tiebreaking solo shot in the ninth, and Toronto rallied for a win.

Reimold’s first homer came in the fifth and cut Houston’s lead to 4-3.

His second homer of the season was off Chad Qualls (1-3) and sent Toronto to its ninth win in 10 games. It was Reimold’s second career multihomer game and first since May 26, 2011.

Astrograph Friday, August 1, 2014

Mercury in Leo can get overly dramatic, but often there is wisdom in the hissy fit. And considering that we’re all hurtling through the universe at thousands of miles per hour at this very moment, it’s no wonder we like to feel that we’re in control of something. Revel in the things that you can control now.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 1). You’ll stick to your principles — that is, after you’ve examined them, jettisoned the ones that no longer seem right and adopted a few new ones, too. Yes, this is a year of change at fundamental levels. Education over the next three months will prove invaluable, though it will lead to a substantial income increase. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 4, 33, 28 and 16.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Maybe you’re an extrovert, but solitude is still a golden state. When you’re alone, you can think about the things you might have missed with others

around. Much will come to mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Too much loud will wear you out; whereas, too much soft provokes anger. What are they saying? Whispers are inherently violent to those not on the giving or receiving end.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You have many interests, but life keeps getting in the way of pursuing them.

Don’t let life bully you!

There really is time to do what you want to do. Cut back, carve out time, set boundaries — just a few ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are many methods for getting yourself to walk the straight and narrow path, but fear of what happens to those who stray may be the best protection from temptation around.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know better than to act like you need the money. If they think you need the money, they’ll order you around

willy-nilly. That’s why you’ll bring thoughtfulness and stature to the equation instead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Consider that the work you do today very well may be a work of art.

Regardless of how many others are in a similar position doing a similar job, you’re doing it better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Is life supposed to be so serious? The debate is out, and you’ll make an impressive case for the answer “no.” Making people laugh is one of your top joys, and you’ll do it so well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Waking up early in the day is the mark of successful people, and there are those who pride themselves on waking up earlier than everyone else. The early lifestyle requires planning, and tonight you’ll make the plan.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever you focus on, don’t do so too intently. By emphasizing

one part of your life too much, you deny the other parts. The day calls for gentleness, reason and moderation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The power of your work will be enormous — believe it. Once you believe and commit to that idea, it will be easier for you to follow through.

The heavy work will seem light.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some clouds come as fog, adding mystery and strangeness to your experience. Some come as storms and others as light rain. Today’s “clouds” are puffy shape-shifters that seem to form exclusively for your entertainment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are people who come alive when they are the center of attention and then go mentally slack when they are not. Steer clear of them today because you need someone alert to bounce your ideas off of.
